Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

When the students of Wannian County heard that Li Zhen was awarded the fifth-rank official title and the title of Chang'an County Baron, they were stunned.

It is obvious that Li Zhen has made a quick rise and may soon become a new upstart in the court.

But I just wrote a couplet to curse him. How stupid, so stupid!

Li Peng and others felt annoyed and regretful!

The one who suffered the most was Lin Feng.

Lin Feng now knows that Li Zhen is someone he cannot reach, but he hates himself for going against him again and again. He even humiliated him at the Baoyue Tower poetry party. How could he not feel fear?

What should I do if he can deal with me now as easily as crushing an ant?

A wave of fear surged in his heart. He had been with Cui Hu for a long time and knew that if Li Zhen wanted to deal with him, he had too many ways to do it.

How about asking him for mercy?

Although it's embarrassing, it's better than losing your life!

Thinking of this, he could only put aside his airs as a scholar and bow to everyone.

"Everyone, Master Li Zhen has been granted the title of Chang'an County Baron and appointed as an inspector of the Ministry of Revenue. He will definitely become a new noble in the court in the future. We cannot afford to offend him! We just wrote a couplet to humiliate him. In order to eliminate the negative impact, why don't we go forward together to seek forgiveness from Lord Li? What do you think?"

Everyone was stunned. This was too uncivilized!

When he was not famous, you humiliated him wantonly. Now that he has been given an official position and a title, you go to him to curry favor with him and beg for mercy?

It seems that this so-called number one talent in Chang'an is just so-so!

He is definitely a person who curries favor with the powerful!

Although everyone thought this in their hearts, no one dared to say it out loud.

At this time, the county magistrate, Lord Liu, spoke.

"Master Li is a great talent of the time. It's understandable that you go and congratulate him and try to build a relationship with him. Wouldn't it be even better if you could get a little bit of his talent?"

This Lord Liu is even more shameless!

Everyone was thinking about it, but they bowed and said.

"Yes! I will follow your instructions!"

Afterwards, everyone swarmed towards the pavilion in Chang'an County.

"Congratulations, Sir. Congratulations, Sir. We heard that you were awarded the title of Lord of Chang'an County. We are here to congratulate you. We wish you a bright future and continued success!"

The students from Wannian County surrounded Li Zhen and talked at once.

Before Li Zhen could reply, the students from Chang'an County all started to make trouble.

"Now that Lord Li has become rich, he comes here to beg for mercy. What were you doing before?"

"You sycophants, don't block the way, get out of the way!"

"It is! It is!"

……

The Wannian students were embarrassed.

Lin Feng saw everyone being humiliated, and then thought of his own fate, and couldn't help but feel scared.

He came in front of Li Zhen and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Lord Li, please accept my respects!"

Before Li Zhen could answer, Wang Fang next to him stepped forward, glanced at Lin Feng and said sarcastically.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Feng, the great talent in Chang'an? What's up? Seeing that Lord Li was conferred a title, you also come to ask for a reward?"

Lin Feng's face turned red, and he couldn't help but cover his face with his robe sleeves, and said repeatedly.

"Ashamed! Ashamed!"

"It is all my fault that I was blind and offended Lord Li. I hope Lord Li will forgive me and spare me this time! I kowtow to Lord Li!"

As he said this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

When he raised his head, his forehead was red, probably because he kowtowed very hard.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling watched coldly for a long time, then stood up and nodded slightly to Li Zhen.

"Mr. Li is a man of great talent. Your Majesty has valued him. Your future is limitless. You should take care of yourself!"

Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, everyone present was shocked!

My goodness, he’s the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Duke of Zhao!

To be able to receive such an evaluation, Li Zhen must be favored by the emperor!

Lord Li Zhen is someone you really can't afford to offend!

When Li Shaoan heard what Changsun Wuji said, he was secretly happy for Li Zhen. If he could be appreciated by the Majesty, then Li Zhen's day of success would be not far away. He and Li Zhen hit it off at first sight, so he naturally hoped that Li Zhen could rise to a higher position.

Li Yingxue glanced at Li Zhen secretly, as if she was afraid that everyone saw it, and then quickly looked away, pretending to be indifferent. However, she couldn't help but kept stealing glances at him out of the corner of her eye.

It’s no wonder that Li Yingxue has such an attitude. Just like women in later generations love rich men, the women in the Tang Dynasty love talented men the most!

In this era, possessing literary talent meant being able to rise to high positions and gain fame far and wide. Even the daughter of a duke was not immune to this.

As for talent, in the Tang Dynasty, if Li Zhen wants to say that he is second to none, then I'm afraid no one dares to say that he is first.

Although he stood on the shoulders of his ancestors, no one could surpass him in that era.

Li Zhen knew that Changsun Wuji was deliberately trying to inflate his wealth in front of everyone, so he bowed to Changsun Wuji.

"Thank you, Uncle Changsun, for your kindness!"

Zhang Sun Wuji waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we should go back and report. Goodbye!"

Li Zhen and others escorted Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling to the entrance of the pavilion.

After seeing off Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, Li Zhen bowed to Zhang Mingjiong and said, "Master Zhang, I would like to thank you for creating this opportunity for me to meet you all. It's time for me to leave now. Goodbye!"

"Mr. Li, you are so polite. Take care!"

Zhang Mingjiong hurriedly stood up to see them off. Li Shaoan and his sister also stood up and walked out with Li Zhen.

Outside the pavilion, Li Jianing and her sister were waiting there early.

"Sister, little sister, this is Mr. Li Shaoan."

Li Zhen quickly introduced them to Li Jianing and her sister.

Li Shaoan looked up and was stunned.

She was dressed in a emerald green gauze, with shoulders as sharp as a knife, waist as slender as a slender waist, skin as white as cream, and a breath as fragrant as orchid, she was charming and boneless.

"elder brother!"

Li Yingxue next to him called out twice, but Li Shaoan was completely unaware.

Li Jianing also noticed this handsome and wealthy young man. She only took one look at him and her face turned red to her ears.

Although it was their first meeting, Li Jianing had a sense of déjà vu.

Li Jianing stepped forward and bowed generously, "Mr. Li, I am honored to be here."

Li Shaoan still stood there motionless.

Li Yingxue, who was standing next to him, twisted Li Shaoan's waist hard.

"Hiss" Li Shaoan took a breath of cold air.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

"Brother, your eyes are on the girl! Miss Li is greeting you!"

Li Yingxue snorted and said sarcastically.

"Out of control, out of control!"

Li Shaoan felt ashamed and bowed to Li Jianing and Li Zhen repeatedly.

"Miss Li is naturally beautiful, as pretty as a flower. I feel as if I have seen a fairy on earth."

Li Shaoan looked at Li Jianing and smiled awkwardly.

There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised by a man.

Li Jianing was no exception. She covered the corners of her mouth lightly, her eyes curved, bright and moving.

Li Shaoan was mesmerized by what he saw.
